Kanye Claimed He’ll Teach At A College — The College Has No Idea What He’s Talking About

The Art Institute of Chicago released a statement.

Kanye West made an announcement Sunday on Twitter that he would be teaching at the Art Institute of Chicago and the American Academy of Art. The rapper tweeted, “We need to be overwhelmed with love and inspiration. I will teach a course at the Art Institute of Chicago and the American Academy of Art.”

According to ABC News, “the American Academy of Art said this is not true and the Art Institute gave a similar statement to several websites.”

The Art Institute of Chicago’s public relations director, Bree Witt, issued a statement, saying, “We’re flattered that Mr. West would have an interest in teaching emerging artists and designers at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. However, Mr. West is not currently teaching at SAIC, and at this time, there are no plans for him to do so.”

Who knows what Kanye was ranting about, or maybe he is trying to repair his image. Late last month, in a Chicago radio interview, he tried to explain his anti-Black rants by blaming his entourage, saying, “The people who were around and are starting to make money, they just didn’t care about me as much. Because Kanye West was an entity, a money-making machine, and you get into that situation and you don’t have people that are continuously looking out for your best interests at all costs. Because I even had people that was with me at TMZ that could have stopped it. That could have said, ‘Yo, this is going too far.’”

Kanye is a grown, rich man. He should be able to know when he is going to far.

Meet All The Black People Competing In The 2018 Winter Olympics

This year's installment of the Winter Olympic Games is the most diverse its ever been, with an increasing number of Black athletes competing for gold medals in sports that are not traditionally associated with people of color.
Not including the 10 American Olympians, there are a handful of other Black competitors from countries that don't have a cold winter season, let alone see a single flake of snow, which makes their qualifications for the Games all the more impressive. By contrast, just 10 Black people competed in the 2014 Winter Olympic Games.
The opening ceremony is Friday, with the Games being held through February 25 in Pyeongchang County, South Korea.
Black women, who have been busy trying to save America from itself, make up the bulk of Team USA. Will they be able to win in South Korea, too?
Here's a closer look at all of the Black people competing in PyeongChang 2018.
